Part of that is that New York has proved to be too much fun for me to live and work; I love New York so much.

My fault now is making my plays too short.

Plays are so much more special if they've never ever had a production, but I think you can really work on a play and make it better with each production.

What I loved about the acting class was that you got to think all day long about a person that wasn't you, and figure out why they were sad and what they wanted, what they dreamed.

Somehow I got to be one of five or six actors that the directors would use as guinea pigs at this directing colloquium, where people pay to listen to and watch the directors direct.

I love writing for the screen.

My first few plays took place in the South and even The Lucky Spot was in the thirties but in Louisiana.
